National nonprofit organization The Compassionate Friends has honored Hospice of Palm Beach County with its Compassionate Employer Award. Hospice of Palm Beach County is being recognized for going above and beyond customary workplace practices in meeting the needs of grieving employees.
Employee Debbie Rosamelia nominated Hospice of Palm Beach County because of the kindness and compassion she experienced after the death of her son. She was deeply moved by the tremendous outpouring of support shown to her from employees throughout the organization, including CEO Dave Fielding. It really made a difference in helping her through the grieving process, she said.
The Compassionate Employer Award recognizes employers from across the country that show exceptional caring and compassion after an employee has experienced the death of a child, sibling or grandchild. This year’s recipients, including Hospice of Palm Beach County, will be announced in a national news release March 3.
The award is presented by The Compassionate Friends, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support for families following the death of a child of any age.
